It’s exciting also to get that chance to go to Japan. I am grateful for this opportunity to grow within this league and I’m looking forward to developing my game even further. I am sure that it’s amazing to play over there. It’s going to be fantastic !.
On February 5, 2024, the official page of the Algerian Olympic and Sports Committee announced that USM Alger player Faradj Messouadi had signed a professional contract in the Japanese 3x3 Basketball League, becoming the first Algerian to obtain a professional contract in this sport.[2] Iwata General Manager commented that with his smooth movements that do not reveal his height of 215 cm, he is expected to be active in attack and defense. Although Messaoudi is still a young player, he plays an active role in the Algerian national team in 3x3, so he is sure that he will bring a new breath to the team.[3]
